The Setting
Vintage engagement rings are defined by their settings. If you choose a vintage ring with any of these features or a combination, the antique aura will shine through.
A Gold Ring
Victorian engagement rings became very popular during this period. Therefore, it would not be fair to not acknowledge the style. Victorian engagement rings were made primarily of yellow gold with a halo. This style is still very popular, so you get to combine vintage with modern by opting for a yellow band and diamond halo.
Ornate Metalwork
It instantly looks vintage when you notice engraved designs along the wedding band or on the crown. Edwardian Engagement Rings were known for their floral patterns, dating back to the years 1901-1910. If you want to create a vintage-style ring, choose a band that has this ornate engraved design.
Milgrain Pattern
The 1930s are responsible for the gorgeous accent work of milgrain, making this pattern vintage. This pattern is made up of tiny beads or dots that appear around the ring band. Milgrain can either be used to complete a band of jewelry or as an inspiration for the whole band. The style is beautiful and subtle, regardless of how you use it.
Marquise Accents Stones
You can transform a simple solitaire into a truly vintage engagement ring by accenting the center stone with unique marquise gemstones. This vintage-style engagement ring set shows this style off beautifully. It transforms a contemporary ring into one that is vintage instantly.
Baguette Accent Stones
An art deco style engagement ring will be perfect if you are a fan of 1920s styles. This style can be achieved with accent stones in the shape of baguettes. Baguette stones were very popular during this decade. They can be set vertically or horizonally with a central stone to give a slight Art Deco feel.
A Fishtail Setting
This vintage oval engagement is a good example of how the look can be subtly antique when the smaller diamonds are set into a setting with a “fishtail” such as the halo or band. This style is simple to create and popular, making it easy to find.
